Sorry if this has already been discussed...but whats the BEST psu for 1600mhz tbird

[mikefromwa]

i know enermax rox, but its not on amd's approved list. ive had 0 problems with sparkle power, but ive also never had over dual 1ghz coppermines running on one.

what ya guys say?

 

[nicowju]

I've had 0 problems with Sparkle, and 0 problems with Enermax, so I would still tend to recommend those

 

[Caper]

I cannot say what the BEST one is...but my Enermax is doing great with a TB1.4@1650
No problems at all, great PS.

 

[mikefromwa]

which enermax, 461 or 350?

 

[WildeBeast]

Does the speed of the proccesor matter that much when looking at power supplies? They draw only so much wattage, right? How much more can a 1.6 draw over a 1? Most people have 50W to spare in their 400W system anyway, right?

 

[Renob]

My enermax will get me over 1600mhz no problem

 

[Jwyatt]

Wildebeast....It has been noted on these and other message boards that Higher output power supplies are yeilding better results when using the Tbirds over 1.5Ghz.

Enermax 430W will give you peace of mind...

 

[buffhr]

i would go with enermax for sure i just love my 465egp-ve-fc

Enermax 431w

my 1.4 tbird's at 1466 at default on my enermax 465. its a nice little powerhorse

Iam running a 1.5 bird with a 300 watt sparkle and I am having trouble with my voltages,I assume it is PS related.I have dropped my 12v several times and some how last night my Vcore was up to 3 something volts asus probe is what i am going by temps on the proc are recorded at 114 C. whe the Vcore volt spike happen.Has anyone seen this before,I need an enermax Quick

Gil,
I just ordered one to preempt problems like that (running a 300w now). www.bestbyte.net has excellent prices on Enermax PSUs. The guy who runs the shop is very nice and their shipping is cheap too...

Atx

I just got my Enermax from them yesterday, the 650W (i think) model. Haven't had a chance to put install it yet.

 

[heffe734]

ogn...i think you're is the 550 W...i havent' seen any higher than that. But anyways...enermax rocks...just cuz it's not on AMD's approved list doesn't mean that they aren't good. In Actuality...they are one of the best...ask any enermax owner's if they had a single problem. I know...you've prolly read MrThompson's post on enermax but don't worry...his sources (the article from cluboc) isn't valid...they actually updated the article and stated that ENERMAX PS's ARE COMPLIANT WITH AMD's...and the only reason it's not on that dumb list is because they haven't got to test them. Trust me...Enermax...i recommend the 431 W. It's sufficient.

 

[Big Lar]

Try a pc powerncooling supply

 

[Boonesmi]

heffe

actually they do have 651's

 

[NesuD]

my 400 watt antec has no problem running my tbird to 1566 although it gets to hot for my peace of mind at that speed so I don't run that.

 

[Dracodbj]

Get a Forton 450Watts

 

[heffe734]

I think my enermax has just helped me hit the 1.6...i wasn't hitting this high with my previous psu...i did a lil more tweaking but i finally hit it!

The AMD list is a guide only and they have not tested and listed all the good PSUs,btw in the Enermax booklet it says the VE models are AMD recommended.
